Thrill of Knowing
So, it’s all alive
juicy, energetic, expressive
Every atom, every bug,
every four-legged, my cousins
the planet, Auntie Moon, the galaxy…
Can you feel the thrill of that knowing
in your spine?
Enjoy the Ride
Recently, as well as specific times
in far and quickly past
the day gets caught in the flow
Rapids tumbling or steady strong stream
it doesn’t matter which or what
Like passengers on the roller coaster
arms raised as high as eyebrows
with grins as wide as all that
thrill flows through the gut
And all along the way – miracles
happenstance and chance meetings
connections with fellow travellers
bumping up against logs of resistance
I’m here, alive, and enjoying the ride…
Unfolding Moment
Becoming a human being…
A process of unfoldment
that is always self-fulfilled
In every moment
like a lotus prophecy
Stepping Into Alive
The choice arises new each day
between the busy and sleepy eyes
amid sullied plans of yesterday
and expectant visions of tomorrow
Nestled softly among decisions plenty
disguised as a subtle choice with no face
the either/or of it lost to better minds
so it is oftimes overlooked
Sometimes gratitude or love
will produce response – awakening awareness
In that moment choice is made
as a gentle shifting of the heart
a quickening of the spirits dance
whereupon a stepping into alive
brightens the countenance
Monkey Fun
Monkey fun
in trees and out
Up the branch
and jiggly stem
Silly and free
we play with squirrels
and eat fruit

Oooh – banana
Oooh, oooh – banana!
